How does this form work?

This form guides a conversation with a potential partner that is considering doing an RCT. The questions will help you obtain information to decide whether to recommend an RCT for this evaluation. After you submit the form, you will receive a PDF with the questions and your responses, which can feed into a first draft of an evaluation design document.

You may not be the final evaluator on the project, so don’t commit to a specific design

Use non-technical language and explain the logic of experiments

This form includes different kinds of information to guide your conversation:

Questions to ask in bold black

Technical versions of the questions in italics that indicate what you really want to find out

Your design recommendations in blue italics

Tipsabout the section or question start in green bold
